Austin Peay State University offering 2 Line Dance Classes


Austin Peay State University (APSU) Recreation Department has confirmed a “Line Dance Fitness” class to their recreation program starting August 27, 2014. This class will be at the Foy Recreation Center on Wednesday afternoons from 5-6 pm. This class is designed to be an ongoing fast moving class to provide a great cardio workout. This class is for students, faculty and members of the Foy Center.
Starting September 22, 2014, APSU will be offering a Beginner Line Dance Course/Class. This will be a 6 week course that is designed to fit with the University setting. The course/class is not just to teach a person line dances but to teach an absolutely Beginner how to dance. Of course, it is always great to review those basics so everyone is welcome to participate. Class will be on Monday nights 6:30 to 8 pm and this class is open to the public.

Students will learn the basic dance steps used in all dances. Proper Execution of steps, understanding of weight changes, how to recognize different rhythms, timing of steps and how to count music.  Each week class will focus on a particular dance rhythm.

The 6 week course/class will focus on Cha Cha Cha, Waltz, Polka, West Coast and Nightclub 2step rhythms.  Each week the class will focus on the particular characteristics that make that week’s rhythm unique. The line dance(s) taught each week will focus on the particular steps that demonstrate the week’s rhythm.

The University is hopeful that the Beginner class will be a success and if so will be looking to expand the program to an Intermediate Class as well as an ongoing Beginner Class. Don’t miss out on some great dances set up for this class. Register now by going to http://signmeup.aspu.edu

The 6 week Course/Class and the “Line Dance Fitness” class will be instructed by Larry B. Larry has been Line Dancing for over 15 years and an Instructor for 10 years.

The benefits of dancing: Strengthening bones and muscles, tone your entire body, improve posture and balance, reduce stress and tension, boost memory, improve flexibility, weight loss, increase energy and increase mental capacity. Dance class is also a great social event to meet new friends.
